I hit up the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this morning and it was quite possibly the best shopping experience of my life. I made an appointment with the Style Sales Manager and she was a dream to work with. I got there bright and early, she pulled all the items I had on my wish list, plus more, and set me up in a fitting room.
I did a couple laps around the store, collecting a few more pieces, and then it was time to try it all on. I would love to share with you a bit of a photo overload from the fitting room, but also how these pieces fit so you can shop them yourself!
I will share a full post about everything I purchased and if you're here early want to add me to Snapchat, you can see me trying all of these things on (I'm acoest1984). Onto the fitting room recap!

I hit up Joe Fresh the other evening after work, well, I was actually going for groceries and the clothes enticed me. While I only picked up one item--the black tee above--I did try on several things and though I would share. I like seeing what other people try on, how it looks, etc. and I've done this before, so here we go.
The tee above is $16 and comes in black and grey. I had to resist from purchasing both since I'm a bit of a hoarder like that, and went with just the black in a size medium. It has some pretty pleating on the shoulders, a deep scoop neck and a split-seam, and squared off hi-low hemline.
I loved the wash of these $39 jeans but per usual, they did not fit well. Pants never work for me with Joe Fresh, but I always give it a shot. Looking at this photo, they don't look so bad, in fact, I kind of like how they look, but in person it was no bueno. These were a size 31 and too loose everywhere, but I could not get the 30's done up despite the legs fitting well.
Two more items after the jump...
Black & white shorts, $29 | Printed pants, $29 (did not purchase)
Since purchasing my car, I've been on a much (much!) tighter budget, which I knew would be the case and is ultimately worth it because I'm driving my dream car, but sometimes sucks too because man do I love to shop.
I've hit up Joe Fresh a couple times in the past few weeks and actually took pictures of the stuff I tried on to share with you all. I definitely could have bought more, but I had to pick my very favourites as I could not afford everything.
From left to right:
* Floral dress, $39: I loved this one but it was the only one in the store and a size too big. It looks okay in the pictures but I'm holding it up on my hip with my hand and while I love a flowy look, this was just too paper-bag princess.
* Racerback neon tank, $8: I purchased this in a size small and love it for working out. I love wearing colour when I hit the gym.
* Flowy neon tank, $8: I bought this one in a size large because I wanted it to be flowy. I love the hot pink colour and it's kind of a heathered fabric. I brought it with me to Mexico and dressed it up with a striped skirt.
* Men's neon sweater, sale $6.94: My plan was to cut out the neckline (to make it into a boatneck) and bunch up the sleeves, but once I had it on, I didn't love it so I left it.
* Paisley printed shorts, $19: these were cute, and came in navy as well. However, once I put them on (after trying to shorts above), I was not loving them. They started to grow on me but I was kind of in between sizes, to be honest and my bestie wasn't a huge fan either. I'm on the fence and may go back for them.
* Black pocket tee, $14: I like this, a lot--it also comes in ivory and grey--but I have so much black and need to be choosy with where I spend my money (but secretly I want to go back and get it!).
Left to right:
* My own outfit with an old Joe Fresh jacket.
* Striped boatneck top, $14: I really liked this pink stripe top (that also comes in grey/white and navy/white) that has a low scoop in the back. This is a size medium and I like the fit (which was surprising, I thought I'd want a large) but I wasn't totally sold. I always look at it when I visit Joe Fresh though, it's cute.
